Even after reading all the information the the unit provided about lists and newsgroups and the like, in the tasks section it gave me a link to 'How stuffs Work' which upon clicking on and reading, found it amazing helpful. it basically just put everything in short and easy to understand words. it also listed the pros and cons, which i found very usefully to fully understand what it is all about. I think that i will always use this tool if it is provided.
I had a look at the main group page and chose the topic of music, which has always been a point of interest to me. I had a look around for a bit. i feel that it is very useful if one wants a very wide picture of a topic, but to get an answer for a particular question who be very hard to find, and if you post the question, you have no guarantees that you are going to get an answer. if you want an answer immediately, then a simple email is the best choice, provived that you get answered.
Discussions boards are good if you dont need an answer straight away, and you want to communicate with people who have interest in the smae areas as you do. but lists are good it you want constant upgrades on a certain topic, rather then searching for information yourself.
